My guess is we'll see a couple of interesting new things, but it'll actually be pretty bland and not shocking. (I'm starting to feel with Prentice's early election, this budget really has been beaten to death).
My additional guesses are:
Some additional spending not noted in the platform. (I.e. more post secondary and more health care spending)
No real stimulus spending on infrastructure besides what has already be committed (which I think is a big miss).
The increased personal tax rate is changed to include the 100k - 125k range and the other ranges go up a bit.
A couple of raises to Beer and Cigarette taxes.
This new Small Business Hiring Tax Credit.
